Camera Courses

I was wondering: Where is a good place to take a camera course?
Maybe, Best Buy or something...

I would look into local community colleges - most colleges include photography courses in their Art or Visual Arts programs. If you're still in high school, see if your high school offers a course. Mine did, and it was very useful. It focused more on 35mm photography (digital still wasn't big at the time), but that was where I really learned the basics of aperture, ISO, shutter speed, composition, and even developing.

As far as the digital thing goes, in a beginner course, I wouldn't even worry about that at this point - the basic rules that apply to film also apply to digital. I think most stuff you'd learn in a film class (aside from developing) would be directly applicable to digital. Digital would just require learning a little more about the electronics of a digital camera and how they affect photos. :)

i'm sure the manufacture may have some online tutors for your camera or something online..
